59.which of the following terms means \creation of glucose\?
glucosuria
glycocopepsia
glycogenosis
glucogenesis

Explanation:

• Glucosuria: Refers to the presence of glucose in the urine, not the creation of glucose.
• Glycopenia: Means low blood sugar (not enough glucose), not the creation of glucose.
• Glycogenosis: Is a disorder related to glycogen (a storage form of glucose), not the creation of glucose.
• Gluconeogenesis: The word - “gluco -” relates to glucose, “neo -” means new, and “genesis” means creation. So, gluconeogenesis is the process of creating new glucose.

Answer:

Gluconeogenesis
